Get to know the free OSX application from Apple, Preview, for quick and easy photo editing.

And last but not least, I recently made my first visit to Las Vegas. The Vegas strip was truly larger than life and more like an amusement park with it’s oversized themed casinos and people with personalities to match. I was able to take some fun pics which I would like to share in this image sequence. Special thanks to all the people that allowed me to photograph them including Margie and her lovely daughter Jaclyn from North Jersey.

Get Creative showcases 4 applications for capturing your desktop on your mac:

Sequence from APP4MAC. Sequence is a simple to use, user-friendly desktop application which gives you everything you need to create a Quicktime movie that captures video of your desktop, including taking advantage of video camera.

Screenflow from Telestream has actually become one of my favorite applications to use for capturing my desktop and  creating videos for my Master In A Minute series. Screenflow has a lot of video effects such as zoom, skew, rotate, transparency and adding titles.
